Programs

In 2010, the AH&MRC ran a pilot program called Kick the Habit, a tobacco cessation social marketing campaign within six communities in NSW.

This campaign included the development of films and other resources to increase awareness of smoking cessation options and reduce the prevalence of smoking in Aboriginal communities. From that Kick the Habit Phase 2 was initiated. 3 ACCHS within NSW nominated themselves to be involved with phase 2.

To create the films and resources a marketing company was engaged. They worked with the 3 services over 2 days to understand what social marketing was and to shoot the film. The campaign was launched in the 3 communities and on facebook during March.

Kick the Habit Phase 2 comprises of a short film of local Aboriginal role models. Within the film, role models tell their inspirational quit smoking stories. A film was made specifically for each community with the use of local role models and a state-wide compilation film was generated from each of the three community's films. Each of the communities also choose a number of additional resources which are also available to download.

The 3 target audiences

Elders "It's never too late"

Youth "Smoking ain't cool no more"

Parents and kids "Do our kids proud!"
